AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
The image shows a small, tanged, bulbous alabaster/stone vessel with a narrow neck and a flared rim, photographed against a plain background.
The artifact is a closed vessel form: a rounded body that tapers into a comparatively narrow neck, topped by a short, flared rim. Near the rim, remnants of orange-red residue or staining are visible in two small spots. The surface is worn and slightly abraded, showing light cracking and a matte, translucent stone appearance consistent with alabaster. No carved decoration, relief, or legible inscriptions are visible on the photographed surfaces. The object’s overall silhouette is consistent with an “alabastron” (ointment/perfume container) as catalogued, though no specific maker’s marks or inscriptions can be confirmed from this image alone.
